Best stretch of goalies for one team?

Vancouver has been blessed with great goalies over the last couple decades. They have had a stretch of:

Luongo > Schneider > Miller > Lack > Markstrom > Demko. And now Silovs looks promising as well.

Four of these names were Vezina caliber goalies during their time with the team (Luongo, Schneider, Markstrom, and Demko). While Lack’s career might appear, well, lacking, he put up great numbers for the Canucks.

Raycroft -> Thomas -> Rask ->Ullmark -> Swayman

3 Vezina winners (4 total Vezinas), a Smythe and a Calder

Yeah in recent memory it's probably Boston.

MTL had an incredible stretchfrom the 70s to 2010s: Dryden, (filler years), Roy, (a few filler years), Theodore, Price. That's 4 vezina winners, 2 hart winners and 2 conn smythe winners

Nashville also had a pretty good stretch during the 2000s: Vokoun to Rinne to Saros.

The Habs from like 1910 until 1933 went from Vezina to Hainsworth, then a bit of a gap for like four years, and then Bill Durnan until 1950, and then like 2 years until Jacques Plante through 63. Then another five years and you have Vachon and then Dryden.

Habs goaltending from a historical perspective is f***ing absurd. They've had a HHOFer in net more often than not, and not by a little bit either. Like 80% of the time they had a top 15 goalie of all time in net it seems like.

For most of the last 35 years, the Rangers have had Richter, Lundqvist and Shesterkin.

Beezer was good, but not really exceptional. His best came after leaving NY.

Prior to him the Rangers had John Davidson and Giacomin too.

And even one of their non HHOF goalies won a freakin Hart trophy

Come on Raycroft doesn’t count. :laugh:

Except he does.

He played 1 season as the starter, posted a .926 (5th in the NHL) and 2.05 (6th in the NHL), won the Calder and finished 5th in Vezina voting. The next season is when Thomas took over, and Raycroft managed to get you Tuukka Rask in the trade market

Brodeur was enough on his own to be mentioned in this thread. But add in Cory Schneider, and that's a span from 1992 to 2020. That's almost 30 years.

I know Schneider wasn't good at the end. But he was great for 4 or 5. It still boggles my mind that the only position the Devils had figured out post-Brodeur was goal.

BOSTON is probably at the top for accolades and multiple high end goalies above 2.

Rangers with Lundqvist to Shesterkin is absurd.

Montreal Canadiens history is abusrd and has the all time goaltending.

He was great for 3. He fell off hard in 2016, and wasn’t even backup calibre in 2019
